Critical Assessments

The waffle fry presents itself at The Distinguished Concern with an unusual degree of self-possession. The exterior is aspirational. The interior is present as a rumor. The grease is generous in the manner of a host who means it. The portion is reasonable. One accepts the fry on its own terms. Its terms are acceptable. The address is committed to memory.

A. Colquhoun·November 2025

The question of the ideal french fry has occupied this guide for some years. At The Distinguished Concern, one arrives closer to an answer. The waffle fry, triple-fried in duck fat, presents crispness that is aspirational and a potato interior that is present as a rumor. The grease is generous in the manner of a host who means it. Proximity to an answer is, in this case, sufficient. The address is committed to memory.
